The game centers around a sheriff tasked with solving a case that threatens the community's existence. ZAKAZANE previously secured $1 million in pre-seed funding, and this publishing deal adds another $8 million to their development budget.

"We found a great understanding of our vision with NEOWIZ... It’s clear both sides understand that games can become important to people on a personal level..." - Jan Bartkowicz, ZAKAZANE CEO.

"NEOWIZ is committed to delivering remarkable, story-driven games... Their upcoming neo-western RPG will be a key addition to our portfolio..." - Seung-Cheol Kim, NEOWIZ Co-CEO.

This isn't NEOWIZ's first collaboration with a Polish studio formed by CD Projekt Red alumni. Last year, they partnered with Blank Studio, who are developing a post-apocalyptic character-driven game. (Q&A from June 2023 )
